If you’re looking for a new handheld gaming system, or a gift for a young boy you know, then you need to check out the Nintendo DSi and the DSi XL. These two devices are on several top ten lists of Christmas gifts for boys this year. They have similar features, which are an improvement over the Nintendo DS Lite and are strongly competitive with the rival PSPgo from Sony.
The DSi and DSi XL share basic principles with other devices in the DS series, including the DS Lite. There are two screens to provide different views of the game for more control. These devices come with a full-size stylus for use with the touch-screen (which is the lower screen). You control the game both with the touch-screen and with several buttons. The DSi XL has larger screens to make gaming easier and to maximize entertainment; the XL is generally targeted at an older audience than the regular DSi or the DS Lite, but it’s still a great option for kids of all ages. Even if you don’t have boys – there are quality games for girls available in the DS line, too.
With their WiFi connections, both the DSi and the DSi XL can download games from the Internet, too. Some come with games pre-loaded onto the hard drive. You can browse the web, share photos and images showing off your skills in your games, and play with others online. These devices also have two digital cameras for taking photos directly with your DSi, each with 11 different lenses for customization.
The DSi and DSi XL come in different colors. The DSi is available in pink, white, matte black, matte blue, metallic blue, Pokemon black, and Pokemon white. The Pokemon colors have designs of Pokemon on the cover. The DSi XL comes in red, bronze, burgundy, and midnight blue.
These are just some basic details about the DSi and the DSi XL. They’re great gifts for both boys and girls of all ages, and they make strong strides forward from the DS Lite. You should look into getting one for the child in your life right away!
